"So... What's next?"

"We wait.."

"Wait?.. Wait?! And what happens then?" Naruto shouted.

"Hey! It's not like we have anything else to do! We wait, and see what happens from there. Unless you have any better  ideas?"

"Okay.. say that we did wait, what happens if the police finds out anything new? What would we do then?"

"We see how that plays out. We search up any recent news, reports, anything that involves that specific case."

"What if they think Hinata as a suspect? They could go to her dad's and he would tell them her location!"

"Then we play innocent! We need to come up with an alibi, a good one, and see if they would fall for it."

All I could do was watch back and forth at the two boys. They both had good points, but honestly I'm all out of ideas.

"Don't you think it's too risky?! They are just going to come back with more questions on their plates. We should come up with something else."

I could tell that Neji was going to snap, because he hates being told otherwise.

"Listen here Naruto, did I not say that this wouldn't be easy? You wanted to play the hero after I specifically told you that this isn't all fun and games. We don't have alot of options, therefore waiting is our only bet. You do not have any say in this whatsoever, because honestly what is an idiot like you going to do besides cause trouble."

"NEJI!"  I yelled.

That was completely uncalled for! He was totally out of line.

"I only stated what was necessary."

"What is necessary about calling someone an idiot for putting out a suggestion after you specifically asked him if he had any better ideas?!"

"I wasn't really asking! I was trying to prove my point."

"That doesn't matter! And besides, you don't even know anything about him! You're just now showing up here, so you have no right to call Naruto an idiot!"

What he said next made my blood boil to dangerous temperatures.

"I know an idiot when I see one."

I gave Neji a hard glare, but I quickly wanted to apologize to Naruto.. only to see that he was gone, with the front door completely wide open.

"Honestly, you don't, because if you did, you would realize that you're the biggest idiot here! You only see your side to things and you hate it when someone else tries to either prove you wrong or tell you something different. Only a true idiot would think that there is only one way to solve a problem. Look in the mirror Neji; you need to grow up."

I walked out without saying anything else. I have never in my life said something so harsh, mean, and disrespectful to Neji before; I don't know whether to congratulate myself or feel really bad.

I could see Naruto in the distance, and he was walking so damn fast.

"NARUTO!"

He stopped.

I had finally caught up to him, and I could see him trembling, most definitely from anger I bet.

When he turned around his eyes held a mixture of emotions.

Anger, sadness, confusion.

"Naruto?" I whispered.

He tried his best to look at me  and then smiled.. A pain-filled smile.

"I don't understand." he started. "It's like everything I do is wrong."

I stared at him, feeling sorry, but sympathetic towards him.

"Everyone knows that nobody is perfect, but when it comes to me; it's like that phrase has a whole new meaning."

I kinda understand what he's talking about. I had also went through this same scenario almost with my father once.

"I'm sorry about that, just speaking out loud, ya' know?.. but also I'm sorry if I haven't been much help since the start-"

"Thats not true!" I stopped him.

"Naruto, you have been so much help, and I apologize for not saying thank you to you and I especially apologize for what Neji had said."

He stared at me again with a painful smile.

"You're not an idiot Naruto, you hear me!"

I could tell he was shocked by my words.

"You have never done anything that could convince me that you are stupid. You came to me, when no one else did, when I first got here, you suggested that I should listen to Tenten and Sasuke for an explanation, you came all the way to my apartment just to check up on me, and you said that we should ask Sai for help on the sketch. And guess what, those were all your ideas! They were not stupid, and those most definitely helped me with so much. More than you could ever know.."

We stared at each other for what seemed like hours. I could see this little sparkle in his eyes as he smiled one of his biggest smiles.

It was contagious, because I felt myself smile soon after.

Naruto took a step closer, but I had rushed right in a gave him a hug.

"Thank you Naruto. I don't know if I haven't said this to you enough, or if I had said it too much, but I can't help it. I haven't had alot of friends growing up, and the little friends I did have, would always treat me so terrible, I have never had one person show me so much kindness before."

That's probably why I get so attached, because I know that I have longed for people to care about me. Maybe that's why I'm so naive to everyone I meet. But look at me, here I am, trying to convince myself that I don't need anybody, when I couldn't even last a full two weeks without wanting to be near them.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and snuggled deeper into his chest; the warmth slowly engulfing me.

I want to be near every one of them.

"Just me? What about Sauske.. and Tenten.. weren't they your friends before me?"

"Okay... Besides them." I sniffled as I silently cried off the memories.

'But what if I'm getting too attached?'

I felt his arms snuck around my waist as he tried to hug me tighter.

"Hey. Don't you cry on me now."

I chuckled. "Shut up."

There was a slight pause before he said anything.

"You laughed."

"What?" I asked, slowly raising my head.

"I've never heard you laugh since you gotten here."

"So." I mumbled.

"Soo.. it was cute."

My eyes widen..

'Cute?'

Then I realized the unrealistic. I discovered something that I thought would never happen as long as I lived.

Was it really just the fact that I wanted to be near my new friends? Was it the fact that I just gotten so use to living here even though its been nearly a month already? I realized that my heart was never truly broken; just locked up. All these mixed feelings of anger and sadness doesn't mean I was heartless, it just showed how much I cared, how I cared too much. Because if I was really heartless, then wouldn't that mean that I wouldn't have cared about anything around me? Wouldn't that mean that I have stayed away from not only Tenten, and Sasuke, but everyone else? I made myself believe that I didn't care, when in reality.. I just sucked at accepting the truth.

But.. That wasn't the unrealistic discovery that I found within myself.

No.

I had to look back up at the blue ocean eyes that were gleaming right before me. The smile that was shining brightly into my eyes.

How did the uneventful evens lead up to this moment right here.

All the times where I thanked Naruto, hugged him from time to time again. The flashbacks from when I first talked to him and till now.

What the fuck happened.

This unimaginable force in the space time continuum really wanted to fuck with my head.

Because it wasn't the fact that I was getting too attached to them.

I was getting too attached to him.

I looked up for the third time that moment. Why did he care so much? Why did I care so much?

I wanted to be near...

Him.
